Draft Grade — Cardinals
Overall C+
ValueD NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
Larceny in the 151st pick lands the Cardinals a C+, Carter and all.

This is the pick they will still be bragging about in July: Barrett Carter, the No. 82 name on the board, stolen at pick 151.

The Rourke reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade. They will regret leaving wide receiver for another day if the season turns on it.

Bottom line, the swing picks will decide whether this ages well.

Pick Analysis
Pick16 Rnd1 Josh Conerly Jr.
A real head-scratcher, Josh Conerly Jr. in Round 1, Pick 16 is miles ahead of his ranking. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick47 Rnd2 Denzel Burke
They liked Denzel Burke enough to skip the value, taking him in pick 47. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick78 Rnd3 Kurtis Rourke
Kurtis Rourke in the 78th pick is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick114 Rnd4 Rylie Mills
Rylie Mills at slot 114 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick151 Rnd5 Barrett Carter
A top-tier linebacker at a bargain, Barrett Carter in pick No. 151, plain and simple. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
